Just did a little search on Mining legislation in NSW and found this from Hansard ... re retrospective laws to combat Supreme court ruling.

ghosta - This simply transfers the problem elsewhere...probably to third world countries who already have enough problems. I agree with both parts of your statement...It is a problem no matter where operations are situated because big money gets the green light over local communities wellbeing! Give...

Sorry, I don't like coal dust in my milk or water!!! :roll: Pleased to see they're making a stand and more will stand alongside. It's time these foreign and Aussie coal mining companies look to cleaner , safer ways of making their living! Keep us informed and let us know who to write to and where ca...

Colin, reading your post I went looking for more info and thought this link expanded on the issue. http://joannenova.com.au/2010/09/my-letters-and-emails/ They are so popular in Narrogin that: 900 people signed a petition in their support (that was back in 2007 when they were running with 10,000 cat...

As previously stated I'm no mathematician or scientist for that matter yet I have found this a very interesting topic. I can turn a light switch on without needing to know why it works yet if it doesn't work someone had better have the answer!! :lol: I hope Ian won't mind my throwing in this link on...

Wow, fantastic Ian! Lovely healthy looking crop...

Perhaps you should give Landline a call! Cheers

Jodie, I'm sure Peter would agree that often it's a case of finding the right ear to hear the message. Not easy with so many competing interests and lobby groups yet the message is being heard where it matters most... at the grassroots! 2,500 HA should raise a lot of ears and eyebrows!!! :wink: Chee...

From the top article- 97% of this CO2 is produced by Mother Nature. It’s natural and essential for life on earth and the sea. So, out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left (about half an inch --- just over a centimetre) which is produced by man. ...........................

To my simple unmathematical mind, (thought I best state this fact up front :D ) I would think there is already a known amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from a tank of fuel, (of different types). Knowing the Area covered per tank of fuel would give to CO2 sequestered into the soil. I rememb...

Frost Potential http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/weather/frost.jsp I often check the radar for weather updates especially if I hear a storm is on it's way, but I hadn't noticed this section on frost warnings before and wondered how many of our members use it? How accurate is it and have you contribute...

ABC recently showed the documentary series- The Botany of Desire. I hope many of you also caught this interesting doco , if not you can view episode 1,2, http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/docs Tracing the history of just 4 plants, the apple, potato, marajuana and tulip - the importance of planting a var...

Also from an agriculture page on wikipedia....Costs and benefits of GMOs Genetic engineers may someday develop transgenic plants which would allow for irrigation, drainage, conservation, sanitary engineering, and maintaining or increasing yields while requiring fewer fossil fuel derived inputs than ...

Fantastic Ian! Good to hear your presentation was well received.
It seems all you need is an inexpensive/convenient way to keep your crops frost free? Thinking caps on...

Cheers to you and Jodi

PS.. Just been reading http://www.grdc.com.au/uploads/document ... _Frost.pdf

Sounds very interesting! Hope both days are a huge success for you, Jodi and Ian.

Jodi, you are right to be concerned ...very concerned! The documentary... Patent the Pig ... exposes what Monsanto and others are really after. Not to just increase their market share but to take over the food market! How...? In the US a farmer whose crop is found to have been contaminated by his ne...
